here's another one from my dad: some kind of browser-based puzzle game where you're playing as a little guy, and you're trying to find your spaceship? he distinctly remembers some kind of lever-pulling puzzle. and he says it had a very distinct art style, and he thinks it had a french or maybe italian name. he also says he thinks it got a sequel again, i know that isn't a heck of a lot to go off of, but you guys are wizards so maybe you can figure it out.

I can’t remember if finding your spaceship was the objective, but it was browser-based and sounds like it otherwise fits the bill https://youtu.be/lEt5oiEcMIM?si=54Ur3aSN9f6Zmbo5

There was a PC game that was, like, "this unspecified threat with a weird name (that is the name of the game) is coming for this town in 3 weeks, what do you have your heroes do in that time?" and it was options like fight in the arena, work at the hospital, hunt down criminals, tend a garden, etc. All just choosing options from a list, and getting illustrations and text describing what happens. At the end, the threat would come in and you'd probably fail to stop it, but your heroes might still be able to help the town rebuild afterwards. It was a game of building an implied narrative out of disconnected elements, I'd say, plus admiring some nicely-made illustrations. Someone LP'd it on SA once (in the last decade, probably?), a one-and-done with no replays to see how things might have turned out differently.

I saw this puzzle game on instagram and can't remember the name of it. In it you type letters and you need them to fall in a certain way to collect a dot somewhere on the level. I remember it was grey on a white background.

I am trying to remember the name of a 2D free game where you controlled a starship that floated from planet to planet picking up and dropping off colonists while battling over territory in space I remember the game seemed to have pretty detailed readouts of the population and resources on each planet — the trick was to keep your civilization booming while keeping your rivals down. you could use heavy nukes to wipe out your enemies' colonies or slowly infect them to death with bio weapons, keeping the planet's resources intact. you could also infect your enemy's ships, and they would spread contagion at every planet they visited, along with their colonists. you controlled only one ship and it was a little bit of a challenge not to let your rivals sneak into your territory behind your back while you were busy elsewhere the tone of the game was irreverent — I want to say the graphics were on the cartoony side. but fairly polished, windowed play for 2002/2003 I was a big GameHippo hound in high school in the aughties — it might have been available on the site or not thanks for any help — I love this thread edit: nailed it, thanks!! vvv DasNeonLicht fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Mar 27, 2024 |

Warpath http://www.synthetic-reality.com/warpath.htm Or maybe Warpath 97 from the same developers, I've never played the version that wasn't originally made for Windows 3.X Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Mar 27, 2024 |

Your description sounded kind of similar to The Last Federation, for what it's worth. Obviously not the correct game, but you control a single precursor ship, trying to wrangle a bunch of bickering aliens into making nice with each other. This can (and likely will) involve wiping out some of the factions, assassinating leaders, stealing techs from one faction to give to another, and a bunch of other 4X-adjacent conceptions. There's no contagion or colonization systems, though.
